Golden Addresses New Accusations

Yahoo! Sports released a story Friday, citing possible NCAA rule violations by Al Golden and members of his coaching staff. He addressed the story on Friday night.

Here is what Al Golden said on Friday night regarding a story that cited possible NCAA rule violations.

"I have been a college football coach for more than 18 years and I am proud of--and I stand by--my record of compliance over that span. As my colleagues and players on all of my teams can attest, I believe strongly in doing things the right way with the best of intentions. The inferences and suggestions in the Yahoo! Sports story that my conduct was anything but ethical are simply false. I, like all of us at UM, have cooperated fully with the joint NCAA-UM inquiry and will continue to do so, so that our program and our University can move forward.

Because the process is on-going, I am unable to address any specifics or answer questions on the matter."
